Landlord or tenant lawyer | Jul 31

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Barry is amazingly experienced in landlord-tenant law. He knows every tenant defense and every tricky move by opposing counsel. I have known Barry for 20 years and have referred matters to him many times. I have never been disappointed. He is smart, aggressive and always focused on getting the best result for his client. You can rely on his encyclopedic knowledge of the law. Landlord-tenant law in NYC is a rat's nest and nobody can guide you through it better than Barry can."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
